Looking Up

It was during a camping trip in the Adirondacks back in the late 90s when I started taking photos of trees.  Sometimes it is the type of tree or the shape of a trunk or the color of the bark that pulls me in.  Often it's the view of the sky through the leaves that I want to capture.  Within a forest or a grove I almost always find a sense of peace, of quietude.  In fact, if someone cared to ask me where I feel most calm and still, my reply would be "amongst the trees."
